Here’s what’s coming up this weekend on State of Belief Radio –
A bakery was fined for refusing Gay customers. Now, a Gay Evangelical Christian is raising the $150,000 they need to stay in business. Matt Stohlandske’s story is one you cannot miss. He wrote about it for the Washington Post in a column headlined I’m a gay rights activist. I want to give $150,000 to someone who opposes gay marriage. The fundraising campaign is at Rally.org. Matt is a member of the advisory board for an exciting new nonprofit, Evangelicals for Marriage Equality, which is currently gathering signatures on a petition to the Southern Baptist Convention, which is meeting in Nashville starting Monday, October 27.
